I mix up the lyrics from time to time to see if they are still listening to me "Up above the world so high, like a banana in the sky ..."
"Silly mummy! you sung it wrong!" It's a gets a giggle every time and I love to hear them giggle.
I started by piecing the star and using the Monogramming feature on my machine to embroider the "Twinkle, Twinkle". Then I appliquéd the star on to one big piece of fabric.
Some simple cross-hatch quilting was all that was needed and it's backed with the same dove grey as the whole cloth on the front.
Quick, easy, simple and pure ...

This is a really lovely quilt in it's simplicity.The yellow border gives it just the right amount of zing. I'm so going to sing the banana in the sky version from now on!!
ReplyDeleteI love this Serena, and so would my granddaughter. I might have to make her one! xx
ReplyDeleteSweet star! Just like a banana in the sky! ;)
ReplyDeleteBanana is the perfect name for that yellow, really lovely use of it in this mini-quilt. Of course now I'm going to be humming for the rest of the day!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that yellow!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet quilt! Sometimes the simplest designs are often the best :)
such a sweet quilt. And singing the wrong lyrics to songs happens all the day in our family - its usually the boys singing non-sensical Indonesian lyrics (at least I don't think they make sense!!)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Here in our house "You Are My Sunshine" would have faded completely away years ago.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! The yellow is perfect!! What size did this finish at?
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt! Sometimes the quickest are the most awesome!! The pop of yellow was a very nice choice :)
